Produces about 30% more light than a regular halogen of the same wattage. Can be used to replace a 50 Watt EXN lamp and save 15 Watts of electricity without losing light output.

Lasts about twice as long as a regular halogen

FL36 means 60º beam spread and a wider beam of light. Lamp can be closer and still light the area effectively

Perfect for art galleries and retail applications where light quality is important

Energy Used

A rating, expressed in watts, to indicate the rate at which a lamp consumes energy. Also known as wattage value.

Energy Used

35 Watts

Volts

A measure of "electrical pressure" between two points. The voltage specification of an incandescent lamp is the electrical "pressure" required to drive it at its designed point. The "voltage" of a ballast (e.g. 120 V) refers to the line voltage coming from the power source and is connected to the ballast.

Volts

Base

The end (or ends) of the lamp that fits into the socket.

GU5.3

Bulb Shape

The description of the general appearance of a lamp/bulb consists of a letter(s) followed by a number. The letter indicates the shape of the bulb and the number relates to the diameter of the bulb in eighths of an inch. For example, a common household bulb is the A-19. The bulb is "A" shape and the diameter would be nineteen 8ths of an inch, or 2 3/8".

Bulb Color

The color of the light produced by a bulb

Soft White

CRI

Color Rendering Index is an international system used to rate a lamp's ability to render object colors. The higher the CRI (based upon a 0-100 scale) the richer and more accurately colors generally appear. CRI differences among lamps are not usually visible to the eye unless the difference is more than 3-5 points.

CRI

100

Color Temperature (Kelvin)

An expression of the hue of the light emitted, measured in degrees Kelvin. Usually expressed by a four digit number followed by (k), such as 2700k. Higher temperatures indicate whiter, "cooler" colors, while lower temperatures indicate yellower, "warmer" colors. Some common Kelvin temperature benchmarks are 2700k (warm white), 3500k (neutral white), 4100k (cool white), 5000k (bright white), and 6500k (daylight).

Color Temperature (Kelvin)

3150

Brightness (Lumens)

A rating of the initial light output of a bulb, rated after 100 hrs of operation. Lumens are a measure of how much light falls on one square foot of area, one foot away from the light source.

Brightness (Lumens)

750

Candle Power

A measure of how much light the bulb produces, measured at the bulb, based on the amount originally emitted by a single candle.

Bulb Finish

The surface finish of a bulb, which may affect the quality of the light emitted.

Average Rated Life (hr)

A measurement of the average length of time, between first use and the point when 50% of the lamps tested have stopped functioning, , using an operating cycle of 3 hours on, 20 minutes off.

Average Rated Life (hr)

5000

Beam Angle (°)

The width of a light beam, expressed in degrees. The beam angle is often part of the ordering code for reflector lamps. For example, a 50PAR30/HIR/NFL25 is a 50-watt PAR30 narrow flood lamp with a beam angle of 25 degrees.

Beam Angle (°)

60

Class and Filament

A designation used to describe the shape or structure of the filament in an incandescent or halogen light bulb. Most commonly used for specialty products like rough service and antique replica lamps.

Class and Filament

C,C-8

Length (in)

Also referred to as "Maximum Overall Length" (MOL). For light bulbs, it measures the length of a light bulb, from the top of the bulb to the bottom of the base or pins and is typically expressed in inches. For light fixtures and ballasts, it applies to the total horizontal length of the item.

Diameter (in)

Light bulbs: a measurement of a bulb's width taken at the widest point of the bulb. Fixtures: the measurement across the widest point of a circular fixture.

Dimmable

Indicates whether a bulb can be dimmed in conjunction with a suitable dimmer control.

Excellent bulb

Definitely more lumens per watt than comparable standard 35w MR16, roughly equivalent to a 50 watts. Kelvin temp is perfect; about 100-200° cooler than 'pure' warm white, something I generally consider too yellowish.
Furthermore, the aluminum reflective coating allows for significantly less heat behind the bulb. As these are installed in low profile housings designed for thin ceilings (3.5"), housing temperature (and heat sensor's auto shutoff trigger) has always been an issue; not anymore. More light, less heat... Excellent product.

Q & A

Hi,
If current same bulb uses a transformer, and i want to replace the bulb with LED equivalent, do i have to remove the transformer and why?

2011-11-27

We recommend contacting the manufacturer of the transformer to see if it's compatible with LED's. As odd as this sounds there is a higher likelihood of a magnetic transformer being compatible, than an electronic. Either way, it is best to contact the manufacturer to make sure.
